PART I

A. INTRODUCTION

Drawing your image is the first step; scanning it into the computer is the second. Step three is using
a computer program to transform your work by cropping, editing, enhancing, lightening, darkening,
shading, adding colors, layering, styling, or just about any other editing graphic you can think of.

Many kinds of computer software are available to get started with digital painting. It is recommended
that you use Gimp, Photo Editor Open Source (free wares!) for Tablet PC and Paint (Windows) for
Laptop/Desktop PC. Together, these programs have a wide array of tools and options that you can
manipulate to turn your work into a digitalized masterpiece.

B. DISCUSSION

Digital painting is an emerging art form in which traditional painting techniques such as watercolor, oils,
impasto, etc. are applied using digital tools by means of computer, a graphics tablet and stylus, and software.
Since we will be doing the digital painting, we will be using computer
software.
Computer software is often called as software, it is a set of instructions and is associated with
documentations that tells a computer what to do or how to perform a task. Software includes all different
software programs on a computer, such as applications and the operating system.

• Title Bar
A horizontal bar at the top of a window,
bearing the name of the program and typically
the name of the currently active document.

 • . The Menu Bar

Menu Bar has a horizontal bar, typically

located at the top of the screen below the title
bar, containing drop-down menus. It has also a
Paint Button Menu. Click the drop-down and
you will see a comprehensive menu which
include Properties, about paint, and set a
desktop background.

• Clipboard (cut,copy,and paste)

A clipboard is a temporary storage area for

data that the user wants to copy from one place
to another. Cut and paste is the command found
in clipboard.

• Image

Image, lets you resize, skew and rotate or flip.

Click on Select and it will give you options for
selection shapes which can be Rectangular or
Free Form, while Selection options can be
selected all or Transparent.

• Tools is a tool or function in a graphics editing

or painting program used to change the area of
the canvas or image by adding paint strokes or
filling the areas with color.

• Brushes have different lines and texture such as

natural brush, calligraphy brush1, calligraphy
brush 2, airbrush, oil brush, crayon, marker,
natural pencil, and watercolor brush. This tool
applies color to your work, similar to the way a
traditional paintbrush would apply paint on a
canvas or paper. The edges of the lines created
when using the brush tend to be slightly softer
than that of the other tools, mimicking a real
brush.

What brushes tool did you use? How the brushes are selected changed in digital painting?
You have the influence over the brushes that are available from the brush palette. You can make your
mark by choosing the brushes and by using a variety of strokes. You can customize or make your own brushes
in digital.
Brush interaction with support (paper/canvas, etc.) determine whether the brushstroke will be applied
with a texture.
What are the brush tool element of the painting tool?
Brush tool is an element of the painting tool that allows you to select a brush shape (square, circle,
oval and so on) and also the thickness in pixels you want to paint on your image with. As you move your
cursor over the image

1. Shapes

Shapes includes oval, rectangular,

rounded rectangular, polygon, triangle,
diamond, pentagon, hexagon, right arrow,
left arrow, up arrow, down arrow, four point
star, rounded rectangular callout, oval
callout, cloud callout, heart, and lightning.

• Size to create them and thick lines for your

selected brushes or shapes.

Colors are color 1, color 2, color palettes, and edit

color.

C. READINGS

Did you know that…?

A brush is not a brush? The word brush is used in a generic way in digitalized painting. It refers to
everything used for this kind of painting, whether it is a pencil, pen, or a piece of crayon, chalk, or pastel.
The word canvas is also used differently in digitalized painting. Like brushes, digital canvases are virtual
because they do not exist like real canvases. Being virtual, you are unable to hold them like any ordinary
objects. They are composed on the computer. Today, the digital brush and canvas provide artist a new and
exciting way to express themselves through painting.
